This program prepares graduates for careers in general education (grades 1-6) and in special education (all grades) to serve an increasingly diverse student population. Students develop an inclusive and anti-racist education philosophy and pedagogy while also learning to deploy digital pedagogical techniques. In addition to a breadth of liberal arts courses, students take professional courses on teaching and learning that integrate within them material on children with and without disabilities who come from diverse cultural backgrounds. Supervised field experiences take place throughout the program within a variety of Syracuse-area settings. Upon program completion, students will be recommended for certification in childhood education and students with disabilities (all grades).
